A member asked:
Is there anything i can do to prevent future cancer from the multiple ct scans ive had in the last 5 years?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Little if any risk: There is no prevention, but also no cause for concern. The elevated risk from radiation from CT scans, even with many of them, is extremely low. This isn''t anything to be worried about.
